The Englishman thinks no worse of her; but the American woman, listening, wishes that she had a portrait of her husband's grandfather by Raeburn and opines that she would know the artist's name. The same Englishman goes to America and, being entertained, asks a similar question of his host. "I don't know," says the man, "I must ask my wife.
It was just after this event that Uncle Jack, sanguine and light-hearted as ever, suddenly recollected his sister, Mrs. Caxton, and not knowing where else to dine, thought he would repose his limbs under my father's trabes citrea, which the ingenious W.

The same saint proves that all evils spring from women ; and in another passage he opines that marriage is indeed a lottery and the vices of women are too great to make it worth while. "The sex is practiced in deceiving," observes St. Maximus. St. Augustine disputes subtly whether woman is the image of God as well as man.

Minister Li Ssu rises to describe the work of the Emperor; whereafter the latter calls for expressions of opinion. A member of his household opines that he "surpasses the very greatest of his predecessors": which causes a subdued sneer to run through the ranks of scholars. One of them takes the floor and begins to speak.

"But Peg-leg, who fer all he was minus a limb, could travel with any of 'em, he finds at the top of the southernmost butte a lot of chunks of black rock lying round promiscous, an' some of them has specks an' chunks of yaller as bright as Zeb's beard on 'em.
